Module FastaIO

source code

This module contains a parser for the pairwise alignments produced by Bill Pearson's FASTA tool, for use from the Bio.AlignIO interface where it is refered to as the "fasta-m10" file format (as we only support the machine readable output format selected with the -m 10 command line option).

This module does NOT cover the generic "fasta" file format originally developed as an input format to the FASTA tools. The Bio.AlignIO and Bio.SeqIO both use the Bio.SeqIO.FastaIO module to deal with these files, which can also be used to store a multiple sequence alignments.
